as you know, day analysis is difficults for any group and a fair consensus that eighth and city-wide do over the years. our long range data analysis and reporting is known for high quality, a good parcel land use data that many cities don't haves in which took a considerate effort to produce. and for reporting rich graphic presentation as well. and yet we can always do better and we really need to do it now. planning challenges are increasing in complexity and that increases the need for better data, better analysis and better visualization. and unfortunately the recent g.i.s. industry trend have created a new tounlt actually do better. with easier data access, automations, 3d analysis and visualization, artificial intelligence and smarter applications. this is really a sea change moment in this field that i've been watching for the last 20 years and this capacity is finally ready for primetime. we need to seize it to stay current and deliver the planning that you need and san francisco needs, that we need and this luisa program is designed to seize that opportunity. our existing chal

as you know, heritage is partnering with the san francisco latino historical society on a city-wide san francisco latino context study. as desiree mentioned, our lady of guadalupe is among the most significant landmarks associated with the early latino community to present day. i'm authorized to speak on behalf of the latino historical society this morning -- sorry, this afternoon -- as well to express our strong support for designating the interior of the church. i had the opportunity to tour the building a few weeks ago with the current owners and stewards of the building, and it's been the first time since i've been inside in about six or seven years, and i was immediately impressed by steps already taken to restore integrity of the interior. the last time i toured the building, it was filled, the sanctuary was filled with temporary classrooms. that's all been removed and much work done already to restore the interior integrity. it's important to note and give credit to some of the other steps that are already underway by the current owners including resurrecting the annual processio

time for many of the l.b.e.s to work towards being signatory or excepting or being a part of the city wide p.l.a. finally, i would say enhancing, encouraging and advancing the opportunities for a pathway for direct entry into the city build program is also part of the process transition in the step-down and an integral part for the mayor's office and members of this body and board. there's an acknowledgement in terms of the amendments that we talk about today on data collection and the controller's office and the role the controller will play in setting a baseline for where the status of things are today versus the status of where things will grow over time. so we acknowledge that in the amendments today and i can talk about them later, madame chair, if you'd like or where appropriate. i'd like to thank supervisor fewer. >> supervisor cohen: that's why i said brief but let's get on with it. >> let me know when you want me to talk with the final amendment. >> supervisor cohen: perfect. i appreciate that. i don't flow noe if the mayor's i don't know if the mayor's office has anyone to thank.

we also looked city wide at vacancies and specifically in the transbay area. in the transbay area earlier this year the vacancy rate was 16%. 16% every tail locations are vacant with vacancies concentrated in the eastern parts along fulsome street. this prevalence is something that retailers notice when they look at a location. it doesn't provide the welcoming attractive location that they desire. as part of our work for ocii we looked at the competitor grocery stores and the map that you see here shows half-mile radius from the block 8 location, and the five grocers. there are five globe you ares located near this site. woodlands is two blocks. it is within that half-mile, then four more right on the pere outside. trader joe's on fourth, whole foods on fourth. safe way on kings street and safe way on jackson street. two of those stores offer no on site parking. trader joe's and jackson street safe way. given the san francisco population and density and income. we found this half-mile radius or a 10 minute walk appear to capture most of the trade area for neig

are the burglaries focusing on neighborhoods or city wide? >> city wide. we have seen on the west side of the city we have seen spikes in burglaries and identified some of the individuals that were responsible. we have had some good cases of arrest, search warrants that we have recovered quite a bit of evidence. what we believe is some of the individuals that are burglarizing houses in the city are working in organized crews, not large but organized. we are working that angle. we do have a list of potential individuals that we believe are involved. we will continue to work those. >> i was advised that they seem to be targeting members of the asian community is what we are told. what outreach have we done with the air shawn press? this is not the first time this happened where the organized groups can identify an asian household by the doorstep and what they think is inside. what are we doing with the asian press? >> that was more of an issue last year. we saw more asian victims last year. we did do outreach and messaging. we will do that this year. i am go

i think at the time, we were still reporting a city-wide diversion rate. we were far above 85%. meaning that only 15% of the waste was still going to landfill. the last 15% is the most difficult. and so, the hearing that we had last fall, we asked to see why it is not achieving zero waste by 2020 and how we can achieve a better diversion rate on sending less to landfill. it became very apparent quickly that in that conversation, 60% of what we send to landfill is still recyclable and compostable. meaning that although we have a wonderful program and we provide this in almost every corner of san francisco, people are still putting things in the trash bin, whether they are tenants of a large building, tenants in a commercial property, hospitals, hotels, apartment buildings, universities, large generators. in that hearing, the department of environment said what are the areas we can tackle that would begin to remove what we are sending to the waste stream and landfill and tackle this. three areas were identified. one, was construction and demolition waste. there is a significant in

you and your administration are hard at work tackling the crisis city wide and we've made significant commitments to impact homelessness and i see that every day in the crews out a and i was surprised reading in the chronicle earlier this month about the city's success in resolving challenges and the unfortunate truth is in district 8, street conditions do not appear to be improving in a sustained way. some may get resolved quickly but the constituents in the triangle are not seeing a reaction to the homeless folks seeking shelter in public spaces and there appear to be more on sidewalks and vacant door ways and garages than ever before. more troubling, they appear to be suffering from severe mental illness or substance abuse disorder. i recognize that addressing the challenges will take time. but i do need to be able to tell my constituents what they can extent to see and what improvements they may see and what are to address homelessness in the neighborhoods. >> supervisor: thank you, supervisor mandelman. i know you're committed to addressing the issue and helping people living on
